Instagram introduced a significant development to the manner embedded images appear on the web on Thursday. Embedded Instagram photos will now be clearer and bigger than before with a frame and follow button and narrower bezel above the photo. This will make it simpler for reader to follow Instagram account of the embedded image's owner by a follow button.
The decision to have photos is a smart move for Instagram. Users that embed images on articles or websites, particularly media outfits, will most possibly be happy with the new design and therefore more intended to embed images in Instagram.
Based on the announcement of Instargram in their blog site....
"Today, we're excited to introduce web embedding for Instagram content and bring you an easy way to add Instagram photos and videos to the stories you want to tell.
Now, when you visit an Instagram photo or video page on your desktop web browser, you'll see a new share button on the right side of your photo (just under the comments button). Click the button to see the embed code. Copy the block of text it gives you and paste it into your blog, website or article. When you hit publish, the photo or video will appear.
As always, you own your photos and videos, and we want to make sure that's understood no matter where your content appears. Whether you want to embed your video on your blog or a friend wants to feature your photo on a website, everyone will clearly see that your content belongs to you. Your embedded photo or video appears with your Instagram username, and clicking on the Instagram logo will take people to your page on Instagram.com where they can discover more of your photos and videos.
Is your content private? Then nothing has changed. Embed code is only available to those whose photos and videos are public."
Present embeds attributed on web pages will still work, but Instagram warned there may be a little time period that embeds could be glitchy right after the launch. On the other hand, for users to simply follow another account on a mobile gadget through the follow button on the embedded image they must be logged into the mobile desktop page and into the app, this is a pre-requisite this will avoid users from following some accounts impulsively.
